This week we interview sixth grader and two-time spelling bee champion Sally Smith about why she has signed our Problems with Parentism list. According to Sally, parentism is simply unable to explain the origins of Christmas presents, and the only satisfactory conclusion we can draw is that of external delivery.

We also discuss the case of Mrs. Dover refusing to give Wally Fitzmillen a detention last week when he shouted out his parentist beliefs in the cafeteria where the first graders were eating lunch. She wouldn't even listen to our pleas to make Wally tell the first graders that parentism is simply his opinion, and that external delivery is an equally valid theory. This is just another clear case of older kid and grown-up bias, and their unwillingness to even consider the evidence in support of external delivery.

Be sure to join us again next week, when we look at some famous parentists throughout history, and how their beliefs led them to behave.
